    menu games and map games interest me because hypothetically they could have deep mechanics like some dwarf fortress shit but yeah i can see some appeal of what they end up being ig, it’s like people keep rerolling until they finally get pure himmler world with the weird mods, not for me personally,

      On the one hand its cheper to program the rolls than a deep mechanic. On the other rolling the dice is increadibly addictive.

      So their bussines model is to sell a new type of dice every month and milk the nerds.

      Even if you are a pirate like me the constant updates makes it imposible to play strategically. But its very profitable.
